SUMMARY:Conservation and Community: Beyond the Public-Private Binary in the History of Land Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Register \nNovember 15\, 2022\n2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Zoom \nApproved for 1.0 hours of CFE credit from the Society of American Foresters. \nSpeaker: Curt Meine \nJoin us for the 2022 Lynn W. Day Lectureship in Forest and Conservation History. This year’s presenter is conservation biologist\, environmental historian\, and writer Curt Meine. \nFor more than a century\, conservationists have pursued their goals through various mechanisms that recognized shared interests in the land and ecological relationships that worked across legal and jurisdictional boundaries. While they have fitfully come to understand that a wider variety of people\, uses\, and perspectives must be considered\, progress has been constrained by a mindset that reinforces a simple division of interests: private and public. Moving from this simple binary framing to a more flexible and nuanced view may allow conservationists to embrace a wider array of community-based approaches to conserving the public interest in private land. It may also allow historians to find new insights in the evolution of conservation science\, policy\, and ideas. Conservation biologist and environmental historian Curt Meine will discuss this reframing and the many new opportunities it presents. \nCurt serves as Senior Fellow with the Aldo Leopold Foundation and the Center for Humans and Nature. He has authored and edited several books\, including the biography Aldo Leopold: His Life and Work (1988/2010) and The Driftless Reader (2017).

SUMMARY:Sustainability Is Not Enough: From Stewardship to Reciprocity
DESCRIPTION:Register \nMonday\, November 28\, 2022\n3:00 pm – 4:00 pm ET \nSpeaker: Roger Milliken\, Former President & CEO\, Baskahegan Company \nAll Mitchell Center talks are free and open to the public. Talks are held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, UMaine. \n\nVirtual attendance: Complete the registration form to receive Zoom connection information.\nIn-person attendance: The Mitchell Center requires masks for all indoor events.\n\nIn this talk\, Roger Milliken explores the conflicts between a thriving forest—and society—and the traditional practice of forest management. Building on perspectives gained from 40 years of forest management and conservation\, he describes the tensions experienced by those who are called to care for the region’s forests in this time of high stakes and difficult choices. He invites us to confront the conflicts between seeing the forest as resources for our use or recognizing it as a community to which we belong. \nRoger first visited the Baskahegan valley in 1977. He returned in 1981 to write the history of the land and the company founded by his grandfather in 1920. First published in 1983\, Forest for the Trees; A History of the Baskahegan Company was a labor of love and discovery. Milliken led the company from 1983 to 2020\, expanding its land base to 150\,000 acres while practicing a high standard of economically and ecologically responsible forestry. \nDuring the same time\, Roger was active in conservation efforts across northern New England and in bringing together the environmental and forestry communities to pass Maine’s Forest Practices Act and support the creation of the state’s ecological reserves system.  He co- chaired campaigns by the Maine Chapter of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to raise $64.5 million to protect 185\,000 acres along the Saint John River and the 40\,000-acre Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area. He joined TNC’s global board of directors in 2000\, and served as its board chair from 2008 to 2011. \nNow formally retired\, he continues to be animated by his lifelong exploration of the right relationship with nature. \nTo request a reasonable accommodation\, contact Ruth Hallsworth\, 207.581.3196 or hallsworth@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Sparking Solutions: Wildfire Risk and Insurance
DESCRIPTION:Register/RSVP \nNovember 30\, 2022\nNoon – 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nWildfire insurance is a useful tool to shield homeowners from the devastating impacts of wildfires. However\, in some high-risk areas —particularly in California—it has become difficult to obtain an affordable policy. Some insurance companies have begun to charge higher premiums\, increase deductibles\, limit payouts\, and even decline to write a policy at all. In these instances\, homeowners can turn to Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) plans\, but these options are typically expensive and provide less coverage. \nJoin Resources for the Future (RFF) for an RFF Live event exploring wildfire insurance\, the third in the “Sparking Solutions” webinar series. In this session\, experts will discuss the important role that insurance plays in sending signals about risk\, how to balance that with equity and affordability\, and what options exist for handling the growing problem of insuring wildfire risks. \nSpeakers: \n\nCarolyn Kousky\, Environmental Defense Fund and Resources for the Future\nMike Peterson\, California Department of Insurance\nNancy Watkins\, Milliman\nPenny Liao\, Resources for the Future (Moderator)
